FAQ
ZapEx is in the process of applying for a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. We are building our platform to be fully compliant with all local regulations from day one.
We are targeting a full public launch in Q3 2024 - Q2 2025, pending regulatory approvals. Please see our roadmap for detailed milestones.
At launch, we will support core assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT). Trading pairs will include BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and BTC/MUR, with more assets to be added based on liquidity and compliance reviews.
Yes, we provide low-latency REST and WebSocket APIs for market makers and institutional clients to access market data, place orders, and manage their accounts programmatically.
We are integrating with local banks and popular payment gateways like Juice and My.T Money to provide a seamless MUR on-ramp experience for verified users.
We use a transparent maker/taker fee model with volume-based tiers. Fees start from as low as 0.10% for makers and 0.20% for takers. There are no hidden spreads on trades.
The vast majority of customer assets are held in institutional-grade cold storage using multi-signature (M-of-N) and MPC technology, which is offline and geographically distributed. We also enforce mandatory 2FA for all withdrawals and sensitive account actions.
The FATF Travel Rule requires VASPs like ZapEx to share information about the originator and beneficiary of a crypto transaction. Our platform is being built to be fully compliant with these global AML/CFT standards to ensure a secure and regulated trading environment.
